• Compact space-saver design.
• Fits 3 or 5-gallon bottles.

Proper Installation and Location

• This dispenser is for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
• Place the dispenser on a level surface that can support its weight with a full water bottle installed.
• To ensure that your water dispenser works at maximum efficiency, leave at least 5 cm / 2 inches of clearance between all sides of the dispenser and any walls.
•  To avoid tipping hazard, the water cooler may be attached to the wall using the stability cable:

Preparing, Loading and Operating Your Dispenser

1. Make sure that the dispenser is not plugged into the electrical outlet.

2. The water bottle will have a cap. The cap may have a stopper that is intended to be pushed into the bottle. (Sometimes these stoppers are covered by a removable paper/foil seal.) If your bottle has a cap with a stopper, simply hold the water bottle vertically straight upside down and place the water bottle into the support collar on top of the water dispenser. The post in the collar will push the stopper into the bottle. For bottles that don’t have a cap, quickly turn the bottle vertically and place into the collar.

3. Plug the dispenser into the outlet.

4. Turn on the hot and cold water switches (#5 and #6 in Parts and Features section).

5. Allow 1 hour for water to reach hot and cold temperatures.
   WARNING! BURN HAZARD: The product heats water to a temperature of approximately 95° C / 203° F. Water temperatures above 52° C / 125° F can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the disabled and the elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded. Children should be supervised by an adult when using this product.

6. The hot water temperature is preset to 95° C / 203° F. The hot water spigot is equipped with a child-resistant guard that reduces the risk of hot water being dispensed accidentally or by small children.

7. To dispense cold water, depress the cold water button (#3 in Parts and Features section).

8. To dispenser hot water, slide the red child safety lock (#8 in Parts and Features section) to the side, then depress the hot water button (#2 In Parts and Features section).

Proper Care and Cleaning of Dispenser

To maintain maximum efficiency and to prevent bacterial growth in the water dispenser, we strongly recommend cleaning every 4 months.

Cleaning the Outside of the Dispenser

• Wipe the outside of the dispenser with a mild soap and water mixture. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry all surfaces.
• Do not immerse the dispenser in water.

Cleaning the Drip Tray and Grill
The drip tray and grill should be emptied and cleaned regularly to remove spotting and mineral deposits.

1. To remove the drip tray, pull the tray forward to dislodge it from the guides. Drain and clean.
2. Use a cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture. For tough deposits, add vinegar and let soak until the deposits come loose. Then wash, rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. To replace the drip tray, put the grill back on tray and slide the tray onto the guides.

NOTE: The drip tray is not dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the Condenser
To improve cooling and efficiency, vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser coils on the back of the dispenser. You can purchase a brush designed specifically for this purpose from your local appliance stores.

Sanitizing and Cleaning the Water Tanks
Important: Periodically the water dispenser tanks must be sanitized to prevent unpleasant tastes in the water and cleaned to remove mineral deposits that can impair flow.

1. Empty the water bottle, and then remove it from the dispenser.
2. DO NOT ADD BLEACH FIRST OR DIRECTLY TO THE DISPENSER. Concentrated bleach may damage the plastic.
3. Add 2.5 ml / ½ teaspoon of ordinary 6.0% maximum household bleach to a 2 liter / 2-quart pitcher filled with tap water.
4. Pour the solution in the opening at the top of the dispenser.
5. Repeat last two steps until the dispenser is full.
6. Press the hot and cold spigots until the water just begins to flow from the faucets.
7. Allow to sit for 15 – 20 minutes.
8. Rinse out the bleach solution by pouring approximately 4 liters / 1 gallon of fresh tap water into the top and drain by pressing the hot and cold taps.
9. Flush with an additional 4 liters / 1 gallon of fresh tap water and drain by pressing the hot and cold spigots.
10. Install a fresh water bottle (see Preparing and Loading Your Dispenser for Use).
11. Plug in the dispenser.
12. Dispense 1 liter / 1 quart of water from each spigot and make sure the bleach solution has been completely removed.
13. If you continue to taste the chlorine from the bleach solution, repeat steps 8 through 12 until the taste is gone.

To Remove Mineral Deposits
To remove mineral deposits, follow the instructions for Cleaning and Sanitizing the Water Tanks, substituting either 2 liters / 2 quarts of water mixed with 2 liters / 2 quarts of vinegar OR 4 liters / 1 gallon of water mixed with 454 grams / 16 ounces of citric acid crystals. Bleach does not remove mineral deposits.
